Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

What does it matter if people are repetitious? I went through the Oireachtas Committee on the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, which I called a quango and I know what that was like but I expected that there would be more decorum here with Deputy Harty in the Chair. I expected more respect and manners but it seems that some people cannot help themselves. I call on the Minister to enter into talks with the ICGP because 640 members of that organisation want to discuss these issues with him. We wanted to have discussions with the Minister before we tabled our amendments. Deputy Fitzpatrick and I sought meetings with the Minister. We wrote to him on behalf of ten Deputies but he never replied.
